THE AFFAIR x Style Snooper Dan

Wednesday, 2 July 2014



If I could capture my look in a nutshell; this would be it.

Earlier this week I ventured to Melbourne's Royal Exhibition Building to shoot with the beyond lovely Style Snooper Dan. 


It is needless to say that it is one of my most adored spaces in Melbourne, with its 19th century architecture contrasting with the severe modernity of the Museum which sits right at it's doorstep. Nestled in Carlton Garden's, the buildings work in entire harmony- and is a perfect snapshot of Melbourne's architectural landscape. And on another upside, it gave us the perfect backdrop for my standard all black look (it's a way of life I swear...). 


Willow is renowned for pumping out classic pieces- and this sleek stretch wool skirt is the perfect display of that. Naturally, the pencil skirt is one trend that is sure to spill over from season to season. It's front fold and mid thigh front is balanced (or maybe unbalanced) by it's modest lengthy back, making it just so cool. I crown it the hero of the look, hands down. Then we have my worn to death Prada's and leather jacket, which have remained my keen staples for well over a year- it's an unbreakable bond. 


Don't forget to take a gander at Dan's blog, she is quite the photographer.

Mid Week Slump, And Other News...

Wednesday, 9 April 2014

GENERIC-TEMPLATE

Needless to say, we've both been quite busy the past few weeks. Utterly consumed by the mundane working life and never ending uni assignments.

And here comes that dreaded mid-week slump, oh the perils of cramming all of ones classes into one dreaded Wednesday. Not to mention the rain and typically Melbourne bipolar weather.

In other news...


The whirlwind which was vamff just passed and mbfw is currently unfolding, (sorry for the crazy lingo but thats Melbourne and Sydney fashion weeks for our global readers.)

We have also witnessed the opening of h&m in Melbourne's historic GPO building (yes, we sadly waved goodbye to our beloved ACNE). In the spirit of new stores, also make sure to check out the glorious A.P.C store in Melbourne's QV. And typically, the first thing we did was put our names on the waiting list for that godsend of a half-moon bag.

Our favourite gem of a Mexican restaurant- Fonda has also just opened up a mammoth ester restaurant in Flinders Lane. We presume that this one will be without the soul crushing 30 min wait of its Windsor counterpart. Do stop by for some delicioso pork quesadilla's and chicken burrito's, and don't skip on the tequila!

Also keep your eyes peeled for a very exciting collaborations in the coming weeks!
